Sharpen Free LM Sharp Diamond™ Instruments

LM Sharp Diamond™ periodontal instruments have a breakthrough, ultra-hard coating that keeps them razor sharp. Their soft silicone grips set the standard for comfort and tactile response.

Comfort and sensitivity

LM-Dental™ pioneered the use of premium-quality silicone to improve sensitivity and comfort. Our LM-ErgoSense® handles make instruments lighter and more responsive in your hands.

New micro coating

Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) technology bonds a diamond-like micro-coating to LM Sharp Diamond™ instruments. Our fine surgical steel takes a razor edge and the PVD coating protects that edge, giving you a more effective instrument for longer.

Exceptional hardness and durability

Hardness contributes to the durability of the instrument. LM Sharp Diamond™ reach hardness of over 63 on Rockwell scale.

Wear resistance*

Better instruments, better outcomes

Sharpen free LM Sharp Diamond™ instruments enable you to remove calculus without fracturing it. They’re ideal for all forms of depuration.
